Their loss. I've been using various flavors of Linux as my primary OS for over 20 years. I haven't had to worry about the issues which have plagued other systems, and since it is so efficient I'm not on a constant harware upgrade path. Even with issues like this, I'm glad to be a Linux enthusiast.

I first reported this bug back in April. It's a shame that nothing has been done about it for 6 months. For those who want to run escribe natively under Linux the workaround I posted is still valid. You need to downgrade to a previous version of Mono before 5.20.x.x, preferably 5.18.x.x. I'm still stuck using 5.18.x.x but at least without issues. I'm lucky because I have no other apps on my system which requires Mono so I can lock in this older library. For others that have other apps that are compiled against the newer version, they are screwed.

Just a heads-up to those running Arch or Arch based distros such as Manjaro; the latest update to Mono-5.20.1.19 from 5.18.1.0 breaks EScribe, and I could find no workaround. It's the only app I have installed requiring Mono, so downgrading from cache to the previous version was easy and straightforward. Note to maintainers: I don't know what in the new version of Mono breaks Escribe, but this is what's happening. If I have my mod connected when I launch Escribe it hangs and freezes as the first window launches. If I launch with no mod connected I get to the first screen, but if when I plug in my mod, it's detected, and then the app freezes again. Downgrading Mono resolves everything.

Yeah, sp18 is extremely slow to launch, load and respond to input. Using the older version works flawlessly in my system.

Same issue for me on Manjaro Linix (an Arch derivative). Last update (sp18) takes forever to load and is generally unresponsive. I reverted to sp17 with much better results. I personally don't have time to debug. Hopefully, this update resolved the issue.

Check your USB cable. I've run into this a few times myself, and it's always related to a faulty cable that charges fine, but doesn't transmit data properly. If you are sure your Releaux has the DNA 200 board that would be the first thing I'd check.

If you install to the default location (your home directory) you don't have to worry about modifying anything other than writing the simple file for udev recognition of the device. The AUR version is actually the one that modifies your setup since it changes permissions and installs as Root into your live system. I personality am troubled by installing precompiled binaries from outside sources as they are the ones that often reak havoc when they don't play nicely with the rest of the system. At least when a foreign app is installed in /home there's little risk of it creating problems elsewhere.

There aren't any other than if you're an Arch user or one of the Arch based distros then you get alerted when there are updates through it's package management system. In the case of snaps, they are an attempt by some distros to create packages which can run on multiple versions of a distro or multiple distros that support snaps. To any longtime Linux user and purist, like myself it's no big deal installing and maintaining your app, but some folks are lazy, want everything handed to them on a platter without getting their hands dirty, like Windows or Mac.

Thanks! I appreciate the input.

I want to pick the brains of the experienced temp control vapers who frequent here for answers. Please forgive me for posting this question in the DNA 200 forum, but since there is no DNA 40 forum, and I own both a DNA 200 (Lost Vape Efussion Duo) and a DNA 250 (Lost Vape Paranormal 166), this is the forum I read most often. I've got a Vaporshark S-Body Macro DNA40 that I've owned for a couple of years, but have never used in temp control mode. I love its compact size, which allows me to quickly conceal in my pocket at work, whenever I'm with customers (I'm an Auto Salesman). This also makes it my go to mod whenever I'm out about. After trying many different tank and coil combos when I first got into sub-ohm vaping nearly 2 years ago, I discovered the Tobeco Super Tanks. I own and use exclusively a 25mm, 3 minis, and recently purchased 2 nanos to use on my DNA40. I currently use them all with Vaporesso cCell 0.5 ohm SS 316 ceramic coils. I love their flavor and satisfying vapor production that can be achieved with modest wattage (25-35 watts). As an added bonus I've found these tanks never leak a drop of juice into my pockets, which is important when required to wear expensive suits at work. After much experimentation I customized a TCR setting that allows me to temp control them with my two newer, more powerful, DNA mods, and use in wattage mode on my old S-Body Macro. When I was experimenting with different coils I really liked the vape I got out of the 0.5 ohm Tobeco coils on my higher powered mods (in wattage mode), but the vapor production and flavor was anemic on my underpowered DNA40, which is another reason why I've been using the Vaporesso coils. I also tried various Aspire Atlantis style coils, but found them lacking and more geared towards MTL vapers. That said, I'd like to be able to use my Super Tank Nanos in temp control mode on my S-Body Macro, so I can get the same consistent vape every time as I do with my larger DNA mods. Which brings me to my question. I see now that Tobeco is offering 3 different temp control Ni200 coils for the Super Tank, in 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 ohm resistance levels. Ideally, I'd like to see if one of these coils can be used to vape in temp control on my little underpowered S-Body Macro, but I don't completely understand how resistance affects the amount of wattage required to heat to a coil to a given temperature. Which of these three coil resistances will require less wattage to heat to a given temperature? In other words, does it take more or less wattage to heat a 0.1 ohm coil to lets say, 450 degrees, than a 0.2 ohm coil? Whichever coil requires less wattage will be the one I purchase to experiment with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm a longtime lurker, but never felt the need to post before now. I just wanted to thank the Evolv team for this Linux port of the Escribe suite. The most recent version (SP9 US) works beautifully for me on my laptop running Manjaro Linux (an Arch derivative). The package names were slightly different on my distribution, but the instructions provided by James and Fractal worked wonderfully. I've been using various flavors of Linux as my primary OS since the late '90s, and the only reason I've kept a Windows partition on my laptop was so I could tweak my mod in Escribe. Now I can finally back up my Windows installation and remove it completely, so I can free-up space on my hard drive. Thanks again for all of your efforts in making this happen.
